MAYOR 1917— 1918— 1919 MAYOR'S ADDRESS

MARCH 17, 1919 •Gentlemen of the City Council.

For the third time I stand here at the beginning of a municipal year as mayor of the city of Lewiston. Today we start upon a new administration the responsibility for which is bigger and more to be taken to heart than for many years. The problems of this year are many, and altho a majority of the city council were elected by a different political party from the one which elected me, it is my firm opinion that the tax-payers and citizens of Lewiston are tired of partisan politics and that this year they look to the members of the city government to get down to work with the best interests of the city ever be­ fore their minds, and with less thoughts of building up political fences at the city’s expense. It is with this firmly in my mind that I start out upon my third term as mayor. My experience teaches me that if the best public interest is to be served, if the tax-payers and citizens of the city of Lewiston are going to get the most for their money, politics and bickerings must cease. Much of the good name of the administration, I might say all, and surely the results, are in the hands of the city council. Especially is this true in the present administration. Common grounds embodying a clean progressive policy of economical measures, good business in the city dealings, openness and frankness, ought to be reached by the different political in­ terests if there are any in this administration.

First, a common ground for work. The various pre­ election differences must be smoothed out and agreement made that the city council will work for the best interests of the city. Then there must be no embarking on a course of exten­ sion and lavish expenditure of the city’s money. The demands upon the city the last year and a half have been anything but ordinary. The demands and burden upon the city regarding cost of operation and increase in expenses do not appear to have ceased with peace nor to have lessened in any large degree. State and county taxes will be big. The demand upon the city will be larger than ever in its history. It means that to protect the people who pay the bills—and every one living in 4 CITY OF LEWISTON the city has more or less a share in paying the bills—every item of expenditures must be carefully looked into. The times demand retrenchment as surely as ever it was demanded of a city. I do not mean that needed repairs shouldn’t be made; I do not want to be misunderstood. If the schools, for instance, need certain supplies and would suffer in efficiency if the sup­ plies we 10 not provided; if buildings should be repa;~ed or health and safety threatened, I believe in hastening to do d ese things; but it is no time to make lavish expendituie to increase the beauty or adornment of property for those pu.- poses alone. It is going to be anything but an easy year. One of the first things we should give our attention to is a reception and celebration for the soldiers and sailors who have returned to Lewiston. There have been many of our young men in service overseas, and many more in training to go. The city should be proud of its record in the world war. We were extremely fortunate in having as few casualties as we did. I believe it is time that we give a fitting reception and celebration to men who are now home. I have no doubt that on this point the council will agree with me, and I would like to have committees appointed. I would suggest a large working committee, consisting of mem­ bers of the city council and men from outside the council. I am in favor of appropriating a sufficient sum to enteitain the returned soldiers and sailors in a manner which they will long remember. I believe this expenditure is justifiable. I hope that the visit of General Edwards to this city can be made to coincide with the day of our celebration.

Regarding the financial condition, I have but little to- say, knowing well that you would need to see for yourselves. The City of Lewiston is in sound financial condition. It has been in no better for years, despite the vague reports and charges made by persons to the contrary. You will find that the floating debt of the City of Lewiston has been reduced several thousand dollars during the past year; you will find that business principles have been applied thruout the various city departments; you will see that retrenchment has been the guiding plan. The increased cost of operation of city depart­ ments has been stupendous, but by the wise counsel of the various department hdads and commissions, we have been spared the experience that hundreds of cities thruout the land have suffered. I employed successfully last year the budget system. I had estimates of costs made; I endeavored to have a construe- MAYOR’S ADDRESS S

tive plan laid out as to repairs, new ventures in all depart­ ments, up-keep and ordinary expenses. I employed men ex­ pert in municipal problems and who have had the benefit of actual experience lay out the plan. We followed it as nearly as possible. I would command this idea to you—that if you do not sit down at the outset of this year, face the problems and decide upon what ought to be done, inquire into the financial obli­ gations involved, then follow your schedule, you will have trouble on your hands before the year is over. After the assessment of taxes is made, the rate fixed and the income determined, there is no legal manner in which the city can increase its revenue for that year, except by a system of saving and business conduct. And this only means that there might be more money in the treasury at the end of the year than otherwise, not that more money would come into the city. If for any reason, such as increased costs of operation from the time the budget is made and the end of the year, a greater demand is made upon the appropriation than was ex­ pected, bills remain unpaid, the city gets considerable notoriety and no object is attained. Unless you map out a course and follow it rigidly, some such thing will happen. The old-fashioned idea of rolling along and trusting there will be money left to pay salaries, at least in the month of February, ought not to be counternanced by this administration. I shall ask the city council to proceed toward making up the appropriation with the greatest of care. I believe they should engage assistance in this. There are several men in Lewiston whose business experience and whose experience in municipal affairs make them qualified to draw up a year’s plan with the advice and reports of the various heads of departments. I would be glad to suggest to the council at the proper time, the methods which we took in preparing our appropria­ tions for the year just completed. Later, after you have seen the results for yourselves, you will feel with me that such a course is the only one to follow this year. Regarding the various municipal departments which are operated by committees or commissions, I will refer you to their several reports. While as in case of .schools, streets, wa­ ter and fire departments, the affairs are under the direct super­ vision of the several committees, it is part of our duty to pro­ vide for them certain appropriations and authority. Much of your opinion on these matters will of course have to be based upon the reports and experiences of the men actively and 6 CITY OF LEWISTON directly concerned, and these of course will be ready for your use. I would say in touching upon these departments that we should not hesitate to make needed repairs; that it is much easier and better business to conserve rather than to let things run down so badly that entire structures have to be rebuilt. In accepting the duties and problems of the coming year, we must feel that we have become public servants, and that the political campaign which preceded election is finished and should be laid away in state to repose. We should bend our backs to the work before us and labor for the best interest of the city.

I want to call your attention to the municipal coal yard which was conducted this year under the most difficult of con­ ditions. The supply of coal was limited, due to the enormous demands by the government, and transportation facilities were not the best this year. Conditions should be better, and I firmly believe that a great saving and good can be made thru this department. We purchased approximately 1,378 tons of coal at prices ranging from $5.80 to $7.05 a ton. The yard was conducted in strict accordance with the instructions of the national and local fuel administrators, and assisted in alleviating what threatened to be a serious fuel shortage. Coal was sold at $12 and $12.50 a ton, which was lower in prices than coal could be bought from commercial dealers. It was a distinct saving to hundreds of families, to whom the reduction in price meant considerable in the management of their domestic affairs. The detailed activities of the coal yard are availab’e for your examination, and I feel sure that the wisdom of the plan, that the stability of it, has been demonstrated. The municipal coal yerd has ceased to be an experiment and has become a fixed municipal department. The time ahead of us, referred to as the “reconstruction period”, has new problems and new issues. We must remember that the war just ended was fought for freedom of peoples such as we are today. It was to protect and determine the right to meet as we are here today, representatives of the people of the city, elected by them, their own choice, that the war was fought. We should not abuse the privilege. There is going to be less patience than ever before with any set of city officials to forget their public trusts. We must stand together as American citizens, believing in the right of labor and the right of capital. We must not de­ ny to labor the right to organize, but we must thru it all re­ member that the true Americans seeks advancement of his. MAYOR’S ADDRESS 7 cause thru sane and reasonable channels. He arbitrates before he attempts force, and that is why America has been able to advance.

I read recently in a Lewiston newspaper, in an interview with a prominent clergyman of this city, that Lewiston sleeps on the verge of a volcano—that Bolshevism lies ready to burst forth here. Personally I do not believe any such tale. The working classes of Lewiston—and when I say working classes I mean all Lewiston, for this city of ours is essentially a city of working people—are true Americans, the finest type of working people in the country. I have endeavored to get information since I read the statement in the press regarding the Bolshevism to prove these facts, but I find such conditions do not exist. I don’t be­ lieve they will ever exist. So, in closing, I would request that you take seriously the questions before you; that you think well upon them and lay out your course with system and good advice; that you enter into the year with all fairness and open mindedness, determined that all shall have a fair deal and that the duty of a city councillor shall start and end with the people of the city and public interests. I feel that much can and will be ac­ complished this year. If I can be of assistance to you. I shall deem it my duty to respond. Let us go to work, resolving that nothing shall influence but the public good and that only such things as are right shall have our support. CHARLES P. LEMAIRE, Mayor 8 CITY OF LEWISTON

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

Lewiston, March 1, 1919. To the Honorable Board of Public Works of Lewiston, Me.

G e n t l e m e n : —I herewith most respectfully submit my annual report as Superintendent of this department for the year ending February 28, 1919. The following are the expenditures of the department for the past year.

Highways $66,322.48 Sewers $11,112.46 Permanent Streets $11,147.16 Permanent Walks $2,329.50 New Streets and Bridges $3,480.06 State Road $15,292.71

$109,684.37

I would recommend the following appropriations for the several divisions of the department for the ensueing year. Highways $65,000.00 Sewers $ 10,000.00 Permanent Streets $ 12,000.00 Permanent Walks $3.00.00 Streets and Bridges $3,500.00 State Road $ 10,000.00

$103,500.00 HIGHWAYS A large amount of Road Machine work and graveling has been done during the year both on the city streets and country roads. During the past winter owing to the fact that the department has had very little snow to handle the teams and men have been employed in hauling gravel from the pit and ashes from the several mills which are deposited in differ­ ent parts of the city to be used the coming season. A large amount of this gravel has been deposited on the Sabattus Road as that road is very much in need of it. There are several new streets in different parts of the city which will require attention the coming season. 16 CITY OF LEWISTON

SEWERS

The amount of work done in this division of the depart­ ment during the year while not as large as some previous years includes some very important improvements. For several years the sewerage on Bates and Middle Sts., has been in a very bad condition for in every rain the sewer being so small it could not take care of the water; con­ sequently it has backed up into the cellars and done more or less damage so something had to be done and it was voted by the Board with the advise of the City Engineer to releave the situation by constructing a larger sewer down Main St, from Middle St, to Canal St, and then into the main sewer thereby taking all of the sewerage west of Main St, that way will relieve the situation very much- This work was started last season but on account of delay in getting pipe the job was not finished but the pipe is now on hand and ready for use. 500 ft of 12" pipe was laid on lower Horton St, this work was made necessary by very poor work done in previous years. The sewer started on lower Lincoln St, last year was com­ pleted this year 1200 ft of 15" pipe being laid. There have been several new Catch Basins built during the year and large number rebuilt and repaired and all of them cleaned out once and nearly half of them twice.

PERMANENT STREETS College St, has been macadamized from Frye St, to Campus Ave, from Holland St, to Sabattus St, and from Bart­ lett St, to Blake St, a total of 7200 sq. yds. 2000 sq. yds, has been laid on Ash St, from Blake St, to the upper side of Bartlett St. 2000 sq yds, on lower Lisbon St, near the Lewiston Bleachery & Dye Works. 4000 sq yds, of macadam was laid on the Lisbon Road south of East Ave, this was State Road work and it is the in­ tention of the Board to continue this work the coming year. The cost of this work will run from $2.25 to $2.50 per yd. and this price with labor and mtaerial at the high mark it has been the past year is not very high. Quite a large amount of macadam has been recoated dur­ ing the year. Main St, from the Central Main Hospital to Riverside St,, about 4000 sq. yds was recoated. 500 sq yds on Sabattus St. 200 sq. yds on Lisbon St. PUBLIC WORKS 17 * PERMANENT WALKS

There has not been as much done in this division of the- department during the year as in former years. The usual amount of ash walks have been laid and recoated. Several Concrete crossings have been put in.

NEW STREETS AND BRIDGES

All of the bridges have been inspected and whenever needed have been repaired. Several of the country bridges have been entirely rebuilt.. The North Bridge should have new walks and be painted the coming year and the same work should be done on the South Bridge. The department has on hand at this time 125 ft of 36" S. Pipe 30 ft of 30" pipe. 370 Bbls, of Bermudez Asphalt and a large amount of hemlock lumber this material is all paid for and ready for use the coming year.

RECOMMENDATIONS

As I said in last years report, the riprapping of the reserv­ oir is loose in a number of places, and would need repairs. I would recommend that when it is drawn this year, that the Committee orders the repairs to be attended to. That the rip- rapping be put back in place and a strip of concrete grouting, be put about ten feet wide around the top of the reservoir. WATER WORKS 2L

This will save the liability of the water in the summer washing the sand out of the riprapping, and in the winter stop the ice from forming on the sides. I should also recommend that a new reservoir be built. If an accident should occur at the station, the reservoir would supply the city for only four days. The 24 in. Automatic Gate Valve at the station is in very poor condition and a new one should be install at once. The old wooden partition is still in a dangerous condition. I would recommend that this be replaced by a concrete one. I would recommend that an eight inch main be put in from Bartlett to Webster Sts., on Ash St., and that the slides for the water at the pumping station and at the reservoir be repaired. With thanks to the President and Clerk of the Water Board, and to the members of the Board of Commissioners for their courtesy, this report is respectfully submitted. LOUIS TRIAL, Supt.

EXPENDITURES

The total cost of the department for the fiscal year end- ind Feb. 28, 1919, is $39,953.03. Of this amount $36,190.05 was paid for payrolls- The balance, $3,762.98 is the cost of maintenance of the department, which shows a saving of $751.36 from the maintenance cost of last year, reported as $4,334.34. This I believe to be a very favorable showing, considering that the prices of all supplies were higher during the year 1918 and that the department now consists of 34 members compared with 32 during the past few years.

REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY TRUSTEES

M arch 1, 1919 To the Honorable City Council of the City of Lewiston.

G e n t l e m e n : We herewith submit for you examination and consider­ ation the report of Miss Angie E. Tracy, the librarian of the Lewiston Public Library. The report is so clearly defined, it seems useless for us to make any lengthy remarks concerning the condition of the Library. About the only event that would seem to call for a state­ ment from us would be the fact we were compelled to close the Library for a period of about three weeks, by reason of the Influenza, which made it, from our point of view, necessary to suspend operations for a time. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM D. PENNELL, ALONZO M. GARCELON, IDA B. PACKARD, Dr. L. RAOUL LAFOND, D. J. CALLAHAN, F. X. BELLEAU, CHARLES P. LEMAIRE. Trustees of Public Library-

M arch 1, 1919. To the Board of Trustees of the Lewiston Public Library.

G e n t l e m e n :—-

Herewith is presented for your consideration the sixteenth annual report of the Lewiston Public Library, March 1, 1918- February 28, 1919, inclusive. The number of volumes in the library on March 1, 1918 was 24,130. During the year there has been a pet gain of 610. The additions included volumes purchased, gifts and the binding of periodicals. PUBLIC LIBRARY 61

Number of volumes in the Library March 1, 1919, 24,740. The Library was opened for the circulation of books 285 days. It was closed on all bank holidays as in the past and this year, November 11, 1918, “Armistice day-” On account of an epidemic of influenza in the city it was deemed advisable by the Board of Trustees to close the Library for a period of three weeks—October 13-November 3, 1918, inclusive. The total circulation for the year was 62,256; a daily average of 218 volumes. Of these 15,099 volumes were cir­ culated from the juvenile department. This department has been very extensively used by the young people. If this room, like the rest of the library, had not been closed during a very busy part of the year, we believe we could have reported a much larger circulation of books. Some new books have been added and the bulletins have been changed frequently during the year. 14,159 French books were circulated for home use. Dur­ ing the year a new bookcase was placed in the delivery room where it was possible to place about 250 French books. The people have appreciated this opportunity to look over many books and make their own selections- We now have approx­ imately 1,000 books on open shelves where it is possible for the reading public to make their own selections at their leisure. Your attention is called to the statistics at the close ot the report. Through the efforts of the American Library Association, many books have been collected and sent overseas for the benefit of the men in the service of the country. The Lewis­ ton Library has acted as a receiving station for Androscoggin, Sagadahoc and a part of Kennnebec counties. In this way over 3,000 books were sent from the Lewiston Library. The work of the year has been accomplished by the same staff as we started the year with. In connection with the regu­ lar duties it has been possible to arrange pamphlets in a con­ venient form for circulation, and they are now placed on the shelves according to classification with the regular books. The building and grounds have been cared for by the same janitor, Mr. Larocque. During July and August, 1918, Miss Irma Belleau, Lewis­ ton, gave two months of her time studying library methods. Miss Belleau has been at liberty to substitute at different times when assistance was needed. Hon. Archie Lee Talbot, a resident of Lewiston, and al­ ways interested in the welfare of the library gave a number of volumes. There were a number of state reports that helped to make our file more complete. The other gifts, aside from in­ 62 CITY OF LEWISTON numerable pamphlets, were mainly the State and Government reports. The work of Reference Department has proceeded with but little variations from that of other years. The good use of the Reading Room, with its many newspapers and peri­ odicals, has been very gratifying. In concluding the work of another year, the Librarian takes this opportunity to thank all those who, through their courtesy and suggestions of worth while books, have helped to make the year a pleasant one.

Respectfully submitted,

Angie E. Tracy, Librarian.
